Abstract (en)

[origin: EP3225118A1] An electronic cigarette and a smoke volume control method therefor. The electronic cigarette comprises an air flow sensor (11), an atomizer (12), a voltage output unit (13) and a smoke volume control unit (14). The smoke volume control method comprises: pre-establishing a mathematical model of a relationship between smoking intensity as well as smoking time and output voltage or output power for simulating cigarette smoke volume; detecting current smoking intensity and smoking time of the electronic cigarette; calculating and/ or searching for corresponding voltage or power from the mathematical model according to the detected smoking intensity and smoking time; and adjusting the voltage or power output to the atomizer (12) of the electronic cigarette according to the calculated and/ or found voltage or power. In this way, the volume of smoke produced by the electronic cigarette approaches of even reaches the volume of smoke produced by the electronic cigarette approaches or even reaches the volume of smoke produced by a cigarette, thereby achieving the same smoking taste as the cigarette.
